013 Ready to start upgrading
The village chief of Seri is called Tutuman...... This is a very tongue-twisting name, but the name given by his parents is not easy to change by the village chief, and after decades of calling, he has gradually become accustomed to it.
The same is the village chief, Tutuman has always been a little hostile to the old village chief of Reed, although the other party is the same as him in the village of the bad old man, but the other party is also a descendant of the nobles, when the spring came, every time the two of them took the villagers into the city together, the other party could say a few words to the nobles in the city, but he could only wait humbly on the side. Over time, a feeling of unconvincing emotions was blocked in Tutuman's heart, why is it that the same village chief, the other party is a head higher than himself, isn't it just that he has a good ancestor and left a noble title for him, if he really relies on his ability, he is definitely better than the village chief Reed.
Because of his annoyance, Tutuman has always been reluctant to deal with the Reed Village Chief, but today the Reed Village Chief actually took the initiative to find him.
Sitting behind an old table, Tutuman asked his wife to bring a cup of spring water to the guest, and then said with a blank face: "How rare, village chief Reed, that you would come to our poor village, tsk, and not that it would detract from your pitiful aristocratic dignity." ”
"Old fellow, you're still talking as ugly as ever." Reid waved his hand absentmindedly, "I know you don't like me very much, although I don't know why. But I came to you this time because I really wanted to talk to you about a very important matter, something very important to both of our villages, and I hope you can listen to me. ”
Although he hated the other party, Tutuman was a very competent village chief, and he said coldly: "If you have something to say, I'm still in a hurry to go hunting." ”
Tutuman was an old hunter, the best hunter in several villages, and the house was covered with animal skins, tigers, leopards, and mink...... There were many little nobles, and none of them had so many good hides at home. But no matter how powerful he is, he is just an ordinary person, he can hunt ordinary creatures, but he can't deal with those magical beasts that can use magic, he once challenged to hunt monsters when he was young, but he was seriously injured and almost died, but fortunately, he was young and strong, and survived. Since then, he has given up hunting monsters, but that doesn't stop him from being the best hunter in the neighborhood.
"Yesterday there was a pastor in our house, who is an ascetic." Village Chief Reed said lightly.
Tutuman twitched his eyebrows, and he sarcastically said, "Is this showing off your connections to me?" ”
"After listening to me, your temperament is still as impatient as when you were young." The village chief Reed took a sip of the sweet spring water, and he continued: "Your Excellency the priest said that he was planning to build a small temple in our village and spread the idea of the goddess Waujin to our village. ”
The two present were both knowledgeable old men, who would not have sat in the village, and they knew very well what it would mean if a proper temple was built near the village. Tutuman said jealously: "To be honest, I really hate you, you have touched all good things, you have simply sucked out the luck of our Seri Village, and if this continues, I plan to mobilize the people in the village to live elsewhere." ”
"Don't say that, this has something to do with the village of Cerry." The village chief of Reed laughed and said, "Your Excellency the priest intends to build a stone temple, and it must be completed within six months, and you also know that this cannot be done by our village alone, so I plan to ask you to build the temple with us." ”
"Don't even think about it!" Tutuman slapped the table hard, and he gasped and said, "The temple is built in your village, and it is not our village, why do you want our village to help you?" Reed, this world is cheap, do you want to take advantage of it all? You're too thick-skinned. ”
Ignoring Tutuman's anger, Reed said slowly, "All the villagers involved in the construction of the temple can pick out a child, and His Excellency the priest will teach them to read. We will help His Excellency the Priest to build the temple in six months, and in six months, His Excellency the Pastor will teach the children three words every day, and if we do it within six months, His Excellency the Pastor will teach the children in six months
540 words, you think, that's not a good thing. ”
"Really?" Tutuman calmed down.
"I don't have to come here to lie to you." Reed laughed.
"The prime of our village will help you build a temple, and the old people will also go up, so we don't need you to eat and drink, we will solve it ourselves." "But I need all the children in the village to be able to listen to His Excellency," said Tutuman. ”
Reed shook his head: "Impossible...... One child per household, this is a hard and fast rule, you have taken a big advantage, and you are not satisfied? If not, further afield in the village of Wibrun, I know the chief there, Kane Wiblin, and I think they would be happy to build this temple with us. ”
Tutuman stood up, and threw the cup on the table in Reed's face, and he thundered so violently that it took a moment to calm down, and said, "One by one, we will take this matter, but if you are playing tricks on me, don't blame my hunting bow for not recognizing people, it can shoot not only wild beasts, but also some old fellow." ”
"Hehe, you can bring someone over tomorrow, the sooner the better." Reed stood up and was about to leave, but before he walked out of the gate, he suddenly turned back and said, "Tutuman, you owe me a favor for this, and when spring comes, I want you to give us a share of the proceeds from entering the city." ”
"If the children of our village can really listen to the knowledge for six months under the seat of the pastor, I will personally send that share of the proceeds to your home."
"Remember what you say." Reid left satisfied.
When Reed was in the village of Seri, Liang Lidong was on the third floor drawing the structure of the temple. Since the temple is going to be built, he plans to leave a side room for himself in the main hall, and he can't stay at the village chief's house in the future. When he finished drawing the structural drawing, the sun was just setting, and the old village chief had already returned, he saw Liang Lidong, bent down slightly and smiled: "Your Excellency, Seri Village has agreed, and tomorrow they will come over to listen to Your Excellency's dispatch." ”
"Build a temple according to the pattern on it." Liang Lidong handed over the drawings: "You will be in charge of the people, and I will have to spend time teaching the children tomorrow." ”
The old village chief thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Since Your Excellency believes in our two villages, then I will handle this matter to the old man, and I will ensure that it will be handled properly for you." ”
Liang Lidong has seen countless NPCs in the game, loyal, slippery, sincere, and full of lies...... In his personal impression, the old village chief is the kind of person who is five points sincere, three points of the city, and two points of slippery. This kind of person makes up the majority of "Fran Continent", and they occasionally seek some small personal interests for themselves, but this does not affect their work or tasks, and they are also good people in nature. Liang Lidong guessed that the old village chief went to Seri Village this time, maybe he used the construction of the temple to get some benefits that he didn't know, so he had this kind of radiant joy on his face, how could Liang Lidong say that he was also a lord in the game, such an expression, he saw a lot of it in his NPC subordinates.
But it doesn't hurt...... As long as the old village chief leads people to build the temple, and it does not exceed his bottom line, he can treat it as if he doesn't know everything.
Is the game like life, or is life like a game...... In "The Continent of France", it is difficult to give a correct answer to this question.
The next day the people of the village of Cerry arrived, and there were seventy-three people, and with them were twenty children, most of whom were not over twelve years old, but there were also a few tall men who were almost adults. After Tutuman took a group of people to salute Liang Lidong, he followed the old village chief and left, and the young and middle-aged people of the two villages converged together, carrying hammers and dragging wooden wheel bucket carts, and walked towards the high mountain in the north of the village.
Almost all of the men who were able to work had left the village, and the children of Serry Village, as well as the children of Reed Village, were led by Kyle to the river, where Liang Lidong waited for them.
The group of children in front of them, their hair is greasy and messy, some of them still have runny noses, there are many people with yellow and black faces, and what makes people feel even more uncomfortable is that most of them exude a sour smell on their bodies, and they don't know how long they haven't taken a bath. Belin was among the children, but she was doing better, and although her clothes were old, she was at least very clean.
The children had fear on their faces, but longing in their eyes. In their minds, the casters are a group of terrible humans who will turn children into frogs, except for a few older people who understand the importance of learning words to their future lives, and the other young children are forced by their families, they are afraid of Liang Lishen's identity, and try to hide behind the crowd.
"Before I teach you how to read, I'm going to say something." Looking at this group of children, Liang Lidong frowned, according to such a hygienic condition, the probability of this group of little guys getting sick in the future will be very high, in this world where there is a shortage of doctors and fewer priests, getting sick often means death, so he decided to fool these little guys and help them develop good living habits: "Stretch out your hands first, let me see what your hands are like." ”
All the children put their hands out, except for Belin and Kyle, whose hands were quite dirty, and their nails were covered in black dirt.
"Words are sacred things, gifts from the gods to us mortals." Liang Lidong pretended to be a god stick and said, "And you plan to use such a pair of dirty hands to write sacred words?" Do you think that's appropriate? ”
Listening to Liang Lidong's questioning, the group of children showed panicked expressions.
"Go to the river immediately and wash your hands, I'll check later, if no one is as clean as anyone is, don't think about learning anything more."
As soon as they finished speaking, the group of children rushed to the river, rubbed their hands together, and rubbed them vigorously for fear that they would get a little dirty on their hands. Soon a black stream appeared on the side of the river, and you can imagine how dirty these little guys are.
